Everybody’s working for the weekend…whoa…

It’s Saturday!!!!  I love Saturdays and I love my Saturday routines!  This morning I grabbed a slimfast from the fridge and drank it on the way to the gym.  I did kickboxing and worked arms/shoulders/abs.

After the gym I grabbed a bar real quick to refuel.  Chocolate and PB- two of my very favorite things!

Lunch today was my favorite sandwich from Potbelly Sandwich Works in between errands.

Turkey breast (no cheese) with all veggies and HOT PEPPERS!
a diet IBC root beer  (I cannot have this sandwich without one- it really cools down those hot peppers)

Then it was onto grocery shopping and back home.

After I got home I snacked on these.  Delicious!!

Right now I am making granola(recipe will be posted later).  It just came out of the oven and it smells gooooood!!  See ya at dinner.

Dinner tonight was Andouille red beans and rice and a glass of wine.  It looks a little weird but it was quite tasty!

Then for dessert was some Dryers Slow churned Caramel Delight with 1 Tablespoon of my homemade granola.  Seriously so good I wanted to go back for seconds.  I didn’t though!

Now Justin and I are going to chillax and watch some TV while we play with the puppy!  Good night!!

whew!

Another day, another dollar!  lol!  I’m about to start a countdown until the last day, seriously.  There’s so much crap “going down”.   On Monday I let both of my principals know that I wasn’t going to be returning next year (I haven’t oficially sent my resignation to the superintendent yet, but it’s coming as soon as I have enough time to sit down and write it).  One principal just couldn’t say enough about how much I’ve done and wishing me the best of luck, then the other one just said (and I quote) “thanks for letting me know”.  Seriously that’s all she said.  With all of the crap that she has given me over the last couple of years.  What a jerk.  That seriously tells you what kind of a person she is!

 

Anyway, on to happier matters! 

Food!

For breakfast I had what I like to call the “I woke up late and didn’t have time to make anything yummy” breakfast. 
A slimfast
an apple
and some water

Lunch

Lunch was…

leftover pizza casserole from last night (even better the second day!!)
an apple
a small piece of banana bread(a recipe from my clean eating cookbook-I’ll post it soon!)
and a coke zero (mmmmm- caffeine!!)

I got a new pair of running shoes this evening- yay!  I can’t wait to break them in!  I think I’m going to go running at Trinity Park tomorrow to get a feel for them.

Here they are…dscf1329

 

After we got my running shoes we decided to hit Panera for dinner since we were over on University Dr and we hardly ever get to go there!  Yumm yumm yumm- I love this place!  I made some really good choices today and stayed within my calories! 

I had the pick two combo with…
French Onion soup
Asian sesame chicken salad
a baguette

Whelp, I guess that’s it for today!!  Hope everyone had a great day and tomorrow is Friday- yay!!!

🙂

planning ahead

I need to work on my planning ahead.  Seriously.  When you don’t plan ahead and you aren’t prepared you end up with a candy bar in your stomach without really remembering how it got there.  Grrrrr.  Oh well, I counted my calories for it and I am trying to move on. I’m just over my calorie allotment for today by only by 44 cals.

Today was a weird day.  I didn’t feel good.  My boss was, yet again, a big jerkface (2 more months and I’m outa there!!!).  I didn’t even work out.  My trainer cancelled on me, and since I didn’t really feel well I just went home and didn’t do much.  Except snuggle our new puppy and watch her play with Anabelle.  I did get on the wii fit for a while, so I guess I still burned some calories.  I’m not sure what my deal is, but I’ve been feeling crappy since this weekend.  Blech.

Lunch today was a light Caesar salad kit.  It was all that I really felt like eating.  It was pretty tasty though.  Oh, and a big ole glass of agua in my cool I run like a girl water bottle.  It’s true.

My afternoon snack

Well, besides the candy bar(not pictured) I was really hungry when I got home from school.  So I had a sandwich with:

Two slices of spelt bread
3 pieces of honey ham
1/2 oz of Tillamook sharp cheddar (LOVE!)
a little mustard
on a pretty yellow plate

Dinner

Dinner was something new that I tried and it turned out great!  Bubble up pizza casserole, and I found this one on the weight watchers message boards as well.  I love those boards!  Click on recipes to the right to get it!!  I also threw in a salad with 2 tablespoons of  light Italian dressing.

Bubble Up Pizza Casserole

This is seriously delicious!!!   (my personal notes on the recipe will be in parenthesis)

Bubble Up Pizza Casserole

Ingredients
15 oz jar pizza sauce (I used organic spaghetti sauce)
1 roll of biscuit dough
1 ½ cups 2% shredded mozzarella (I used part skim- it melts better)
1 lb lean ground beef
(I also added some onions and red bell peppers cause I’m cool like that)
Preheat oven to 350. Brown ground beef and drain off grease. Add sauce
to meat. Stir in biscuits that have been quartered. Pour into baking dish.  Bake 25 minutes.
Top with cheese and bake additional 10 minutes.

Here’s the final product.  Mine is a little messy, but trust me it’s delish!!

Breakfast

I don’t have classes until noon on Wednesdays, so I usually just hang out at the house Wednesday mornings and go in a bit late.  I had some time to actually make something yummy for breakfast today instead of cereal.

Today’s breakfast

1 egg & 1 egg white scrambled on a piece of toasted spelt bread with a slice of reduced fat cheese
1/2 cup of fresh pineapple chunks
2 cups of coffee from my excellent french press with 2 teaspoons of creamy chocolate creamer and a splenda
